			For Immediate Release

		IFIP'92 WORLD COMPUTER CONGRESS

During the course of a meeting held in Madrid on March 24-26, the International
Program Committee for the IFIP'92 World Computer Congress selected 170 papers
from the more than 500 submitted. The program also includes 4 keynote lectures,
65 invited lectures, and 18 panels. In addition, hundreds of submissions are 
expected for the poster sessions by the April 30th deadline. In line with the 
theme of the Congress, "From Research to Practice", the Program Committee made 
a strong effort to strike a balance between theoretical and practical 
contributions and so produce a result which appeals to both researchers and 
practitioners.

According to Professor Wilfried Brauer from the Technical University of Munich,
Chairman of the International Program Committee, "IFIP Congress 92 offers a 
unique opportunity to meet leading informaticians from around the world and 
from many different areas since IFIP represents 70 countries and all the 
fields of Informatics. Participants in the Congress will not only get informed 
about the latest results in their own field, but will also get a chance to 
peek into other fields and get an impression of the development in other parts 
of Informatics. Great emphasis is placed on questions of industry/university 
cooperation."

In addition, "the 1992 World Computer Congress is the first one in the newly 
restructured Europe where people from Central and Eastern Europe can freely 
participate."

The Congress, which will be held in Madrid on September 7-11, will have 
five parallel streams, two subconferences, and four symposia. 

The parallel streams will be:
        - Software Development and Maintenance
        - Algorithms and Efficient Computation
        - From Architectures to Chips
        - Informatics and Education
        - The Vulnerability of the Information Society

The subconferences:
        - Expanding the Power of the Personal Computer
        - Enhancing the Intelligence in Information Systems

And the symposia:
        - Cooperative Research Programs
        - Informatics for Environmental Protection
        - Encouraging Academic/Practitioner Collaboration
        - Continuous Algorithms and Complexity

The advance program for IFIP'92 will soon be distributed. Apart from the
technical events, it will feature a number of social activities (including
pre and post Congress tours to the World Expo in Seville), several tutorials,
and a specialized exhibition.
